🧵 THREAD: Muslim Brotherhood-linked charity president advising U.S. Foreign Policy

The President of Islamic Relief USA, one of the largest Muslim charities in the U.S., has served on official advisory bodies to both USAID and the State Department.

That same org’s parent, Islamic Relief Worldwide (UK), has been:

❌ Banned by Israel for alleged Hamas links
❌ Listed by the UAE as a terrorist group
❌ Barred from funding by Germany & the Netherlands over Muslim Brotherhood ties

And yet...

✅ Still working with UN and USAID in fundraising efforts

Who is this man? His name is Anwar A. Khan. After 30 years as the head of Islamic Relief USA, he recently stepped down. He now works with another Muslim charity, the American Muslim Community Foundation (AMCF) which has donated to PCRF, the group whose founder, Steve Sosebee, was exposed yesterday by @LauraLoomer for trafficking Palestinian children to the United States.

Patience as I pull the thread together.Image

Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) is the USA branch to Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW). IRW gets most of its income from UN, but also donations from the country-specific branches. Of the donors and members combined, IRUSA is the biggest single source for IRW, followed by the UN. Image

Heal Palestine (the group who is posting about welcoming Gaza refugees) has EIN 882454707 and filed a 990N for the year 2023. Yet, 990Ns are for charities with revenues under 50K and I found multiple instances of 50K+ grants.

Heal Palestine's board is full of technocrats ... but perhaps most telling is that there is a Mohanned Awad on the board who is publicly declared as bringing "UAE connections to HEAL’s Board."

Steve Sosebee, the founder of Heal Palestine, also founded the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF). They too got an enormous cash influx boost starting in 2023.Image
Image
Image
The UAE has a strong connection to PCRF. They are mentioned in multiple social media posts. Was the UAE involved in bringing Gaza refugees over to the USA? Image

🇵🇸💰 FOLLOW THE MONEY: PALESTINIAN “KIDS’ SHOWS”

For years, children’s programming in Palestinian territories has doubled as political indoctrination, often bankrolled through foreign donors ... but also our own taxpayer dollars.

Over the next posts, I’ll trace how entertainment for kids became propaganda for war, and how we ended up bankrolling that.

Patience as I pull the thread together.Image
Image
The most infamous show was Tomorrow's Pioneers, which aired in 2007-2009, with a revival in 2013. In one of its episodes, a Mickey Mouse look-alike was "safeguarded" with the trust of getting Tel Al-Rabi land back (Tel Aviv). Image

🗂️ THREAD: Following the Money Trail in Puerto Rico: Robert F. Mujica, Jr.

I’ve been digging into Puerto Rico's tax incentives for a while now. That research quickly led into the world of fiscal governance and bankruptcy oversight.

One name kept surfacing: Robert F. Mujica, Jr.

Mujica is a former New York State Budget Director who now serves as Executive Director of Puerto Rico’s Financial Oversight and Management Board (FOMB), the entity that oversees the island’s finances. And by some accounts, now making over 9× the Governor’s salary to “oversee” Puerto Rico’s finances.

Paid with Puerto Rican taxpayer money, Mujica runs the Financial Oversight & Management Board, the group deciding how much gets cut and what gets sold off.

This is important as Americans debate the statehood of Puerto Rico....

Patience as I pull the thread together... Mujica served as Cuomo's NY budget director, earning 216K/year. He would get offered a position on Puerto Rico's state fiscal board, wherein his salary would triple to 625K. This despite that Puerto Rico has a population of 3.2 million, far less than NYC's population of ~8.8 million.Image

🧵 THREAD: The CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline They Don't Want You to See

This thread has been a long time coming.

Let's start with a simple fact:

In its 1988 charter, Hamas openly declares itself the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So here's the question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
Seems obvious, right?

Here’s my answer 👇

If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...

➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.

And if CAIR gets implicated…

➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.

📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.

So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status.
And the public is left in the dark.

Patience as I pull the receipts.Image
Image
Image
Image
CAIR was co-founded by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad.

Awad was the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine, an organization that was convicted of providing material support for the terrorism in the United States and has since been dissolved. Image

🧵🇺🇸 THE SHAPERS OF "DEMOCRACY" PT 1: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP)

Today we begin a daily deep dive into the historical U.S. nonprofits that claimed to “strengthen democracy” ... and the elite networks, foreign policy moves, and educational agendas behind them.

First up: The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (CEIP), founded in 1910.

Formed by steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, its purpose was to "hasten the abolition of international war, the foulest blot upon our civilization."

Patience as I pull this thread together...Image
Image
Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) sold the Carnegie Steel Company to JP Morgan in 1901 which catapulted him ahead of the infamous John D. Rockefeller wealth-wise.

In 1899 he published the "Gospel of Wealth" which formed his moral foundation for his philanthropy.

🇺🇸✈️💰 Ever wonder who pays for Congressional trips abroad?

This week, a House GOP delegation is heading to Israel. But here's what many don't realize: they aren't paying for their own trips.

There's a charity tied to AIPAC called the American Israel Education Foundation Inc, and according to its own IRS 990 forms, its top priority is funding Congressional trips to Israel.

It brings in $70 million a year.
(EIN: 52-1623781)

I'm not anti-Israel, but I am being skeptical of any foreign-sponsored travel for U.S. officials. Should outside groups be paying for our lawmakers’ overseas trips? Especially if these groups are operating in another country's interests?Image
Image
Here's an example of an ethics form for a sponsored trip. Image

🇺🇸💰 Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees?

Today, I'm over my jet lag and processing the documents I scanned this week. Already it's pretty shocking.

The refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidy. The U.S. government literally paid European cities to take them in, using Soros-backed operations like ARC (American Refugee Committee) as the middlemen.

Yes, ARC, co-founded with money from the Soros Humanitarian Fund, was running programs directly for the U.S. government.

It goes even deeper and darker than that. Stay tuned.Image
Image
ARC handled all the logistical needs for IOM including deciding refugee placements and schedules, at least at one point. Image

⚖️ WHY ARE WE NOT CHARGING THE PEOPLE WHO RUN THE CARAVANS?

One of the untalked about side effects of mass migration is its death toll.

The map represents migrant related deaths found around the El Paso area for the years 2022-2024 alone. Most due to environmental exposure.

Serious question: Pueblo Sin Fronteras regularly schedules caravans to Tijuana (where these deaths occurred). Why are we not prosecuting these people? Most of the people in charge of Pueblo Sin Fronteras are Americans.Image

🧵 THREAD: Honduras as a case study for mass migraton

I poked around into the Honduras story a bit more thanks to prodding from a subscriber. The subscriber insisted that there had to be beneficiaries or the "closed loop" where destabilization -> displacement -> resettlement would not have gone on so long unnoticed.

And, yes, the history of Honduras is very much interesting and educational... and I'm going to try my best to share what I've collected below👇Image This Congressional report is worth reading in its full for a history (albeit buried under some euphemisms and omissions), but I'll excerpt the important parts here.

🧵 THREAD: A retraction and no-spin truth about Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos, longtime NGO veteran

I received an email from an account claiming to be Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos, asking to retract my X post which suggested that he was a X account, Mrs. Butters. So, I've deleted my post and I'm sorry for anything unfactual I said about Carlos.

In the same spirit that I gave CODEPINK, I will set the record straight and post a deep dive on Carlos Álvarez-Aranyos and his NGO, American Opposition, without spin.

Patience as I put together this thread.Image

Carlos Alvarez's current venture is American Opposition, with a FEC committee ID of C00896720. The official Threads account hints at money struggles, and claims it is entirely volunteer-based. Image

Today, NOTUS published an incredible article wherein it interviewed former and current federal employees all outright admitting to plot a soft coup on President Trump, touting their expertise in color revolutions.

NOTUS is the newly launched flagship publication of Allbritton Journalism Institute (AJI), bankrolled by founder of Politico, Robert Allbriton, who has also been implicated by the Senate on foreign money laundering but never charged.

The article talks about one of the groups involved, DemocracyAID.

I cannot promise to unmask everyone, but I can reveal who's spoken publicly. Patience as I pull together this thread. The NOTUS article states: there are current and former trained federal officials trained in formenting color revolutions who believe that the United States has become an authoritarian country, and they are applying these same tactics at home in hopes of a "nationwide general strike."

In other words, there are people who are actively employed in the federal government trying to instigate a color revolution.Image

🧵 THREAD: Michael McFaul, the lunatic

Meet @McFaul , who wears many hats but is perhaps most famous for being Obama's ambassador to Russia from 2011-2014.

A career ideologue turned diplomat, McFaul spent decades preaching regime change from the safety of academia and NGOs. All the while making insane statements he had to repeatedly apologize for and having a good dose of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

This is the story of how a “democracy promoter” helped set fire to U.S.-Russia relations.

Patience as I pull together this thread in real time.
👇 Remember how I've made the point that activists are "discovered" in college and trained from early on?

McFaul was no exception. He was sent to the Soviet Union by several NGOs during his university years, where he also volunteered for the National Democratic Institute, one of the Deep State NGOs.

He was never a "neutral party" in any sense - he was groomed to be an activist early on.Image

🧵 THREAD: How Utah Houses Migrants

Salt Lake City and surrounding areas have experienced a significant boom in population driven by international migration. All around Salt Lake County, multifamily housing is going up.

In one year alone (2023-2024), the Salt Lake City metro area gained 19,124 international migrants. Given Salt Lake City proper has only about 209K people, that is a significant change.

But, who's paying for this housing? I did some research and am sharing my compilation here. (Patience as I slowly compile in real time.)

BTW, this topic has nothing to do with the proposed federal land sales - which seems dead now.Image

Utah Department of Workforce Service receives tons of federal money for refugee assistance. You can search for it in USA Spending, or browse the federal awards here: taggs.hhs.gov/Detail/RecipDe…Image

🧵 THREAD: The history of Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODE PINK

Jodie Evans gets most of the attention as the co-founder of CODEPINK and Neville Singham's wife. But Medea Benjamin's history may be more interesting.

While creating the linked thread below, I dived into Medea Bejamin briefly - who had an interesting history of speaking to Chinese media.

She co-founded Global Exchange with her husband, Kevin Danaher, which goes on a number of "Reality Trips" to various closed countries - Cuba, Venezuela, among others.

If you've followed me long enough ... you know that's a big red flag. State-facilitated exchange trips are one of the most common "soft power" tools that countries have in exporting their ideology to others.Image
Image
Benjamin, per SFGate, has been a career activist since her college years, spending much of her time overseas in Africa. The Wikipedia page says that she joined Students for a Democratic Society in college - if so, this makes her yet another homegrown career NGO-ist. Image

I received the following email from CODEPINK.

"We are writing to formally address and correct the false and defamatory statements made in your recent social media posts regarding CODEPINK. These claims—which falsely allege that our organization is funded by China, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), or any foreign government or entity—are entirely baseless and constitute libel."

So, I will share the facts without spin:

Per Wikipedia, CODEPINK is 25% funded by Neville Singham, who is living in Shanghai and got rich off spreading CCP propaganda, and is under investigation by Congress for FARA violations.

CODEPINK is running a campaign called "China is Not Our Enemy," which promotes pro-China messaging, including denial of the Uyghur genocide, an atrocity affirmed by the U.S. Department of State.

The founder of CODEPINK, Jodie Evans, is married to the aforementioned Neville Singham.

In fact, the Uyghur denialism goes so far that Jodie Evans said in a YouTube interview, that Uyghurs are terrorists trained in Yemen and Syria who bomb shopping centers.Image

Please share any more facts you have about CODEPINK below. Do not opine.

Here's another fact: CODEPINK offers group trips to China. Image

🧵THREAD: "Fake MAGA," Foreign Ops & the Nick Fuentes Factor

This week on X has been chaotic, and every influencer I've talked to feels it.

A new report dropped, and it's making serious claims: that foreign propaganda accounts are masquerading as MAGA to hijack conservative spaces and even push people to turn on Trump himself.

The report goes beyond analyzing bots and foreign actors. It names names. And the New York post article buried the lede: it explicitly calls out Nick Fuentes and his network as central amplifiers.

Nick Fuentes is the third rail of MAGA X, and for good reason; to speak of him is to invite wrath and harassment. I could've left this volatile topic alone and I know I would've been better off for it.

But when I see what @SarahisCensored has endured - and the grace and courage she's shown - it's a reminder of 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." ... how can I possibly stay silent?

It’s time we break the taboo of calling out wolves in MAGA clothing, even the ones the bots prop up. I read the entire report. Now I'm going to walk you through what it really says.

And what we need to watch for. 👇

Patience as I assemble this thread in real time. . @SarahIsCensored , a pregnant independent journalist, was the last major influencer to speak ill of Nick Fuentes. Her life has been made hell as a result. This is a small sampling of the harassment she has received:
